How can we stop Identity Theft, which is growing each year and becoming one of the biggest concerns of the American People? What can our government do to curb these pirates of our data and thieves of our good names? What is to be done with regards to those who have already been victimized? How can we stop Internet Phishers and personal data thieves when more and more businesses and government agencies are checking up on the data to protect us from International Terrorism? One thing our government is doing is creating a national identity theft task force and an executive order has already been signed by the President of the United States of America to see that it is done. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/05/20060510-6.html Some say it is about time and indeed it surely is and it appears our government will be rising to the occasion and going after these thieves once and for all. The task force plans on cracking down on criminals who steal folks identities, no matter where on the Planet they are hiding. This task force has some heavy hitters including the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission as Chair of the Task Force. Some say that the FTC is impotent unable to even curb the Viagra Spam in your email inbox, so how can they stop identity theft? Either way it will be nice to take a bite out of Identity Theft once and for all. Consider all this in 2006. |
